    I’m so sick and tired of being gaslit by western leaders. They’re manipulating us and through capitalism, created an environment where we can’t act against it, like showing up in our democratic institutions or protesting, because that would mean we would miss work, potentially lose our job, our only lifeline to keep ourselves safe and alive.

    The time for peaceful protests is over. Clearly it’s not doing anything and democracy is dead. Cash rules everything around us.

    The time for violent revolution is now.

    Israel is refusing the entry of tents into gaza because they are supposedly ‘dual-use’ meaning ‘they could be used as weapons’

    (Thats not what it’s about, it’s about furthering the genocide)

    Meanwhile these lobotomized cretins think they’re good sending actual weapon systems into a country that is actively using these weapons systems on the pinkie swear promise they won’t be used to blow up entire residential blocks a dozen at a time

    It’s madness. Complete and utter madness. How are these ghouls allowed to represent us? How is this a government to begin with? It’s just a murderous war machine that collects taxes. Fucking hell.

      And France, especially Germany, and a fair bit of Europe, sadly. France is being lobbied hard by Israel to fast-track bans against Palestine action.

    There’s an episode of ‘Yes, Minister’ where Hacker is confronted about British weapons ending up in the hands of Italian terrorists, and everyone wants him to keep it secret because of the scandal.

    Turns out, you can just sell arms to a terrorist state and no-one gives enough of a shit to stop it anyway anymore. Or if they do, the government will just throw the fascist playbook at them.
